Board Books

With all the electronic gizmos around, it is harder and harder to get small children to sit and be read to. Reading to your child, however, is an important way to raise them to be a strong reader. This book really helps capture little ones’ attention. The shark’s mouth is a hand puppet allowing you to make him interact with your child.

This is another book that helps reading compete with the electronic entertainment your child is exposed to! The book comes with a finger puppet allowing you to interactively go through the pages with your child. Or allow your child to play with the puppet while you read. Either way, this book is a winner!

Board books are sturdy enough for the smallest readers. This clever retelling of the classic tale of the 3 pigs is sure to be a hit at your house. Children love the newness of the underwater twist (“not by the skin of my finny fin fin) coupled with the predictability of a familiar story. This makes a great teacher gift!
